Abstract: BLOOM is an EU Coordination and Support Action implemented from 2017 to 2020. The project aims at bringing together partners from across Europe to debate, communicate, and engage the public in the potential of bioeconomy. An economy based on biomass promises to foster a circular economy and to enhance climate change migration, while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Bioeconomy covers a broad range of sectors, from agriculture and the agrifood industry, to fisheries, forestry, biorefineries, chemistry and (bio) energy - but despite its many applications, it has yet to enter into the public consciousness as an exciting solution to societal challenges. Across Europe, five regional hubs are being established to foster public engagement in the bioeconomy and to create space of exchange and debate. The hubs are focusing on different areas important to the regions. They will enlarge their regional networks with Civil Society Organisations and engage young European citizens, science communication networks, NGOs, media and – crucially – the general public, through a series of co-creation workshops and outreach activities. Additionally, schools in ten different European countries are specifically involved and working on how to integrate bioeconomy into the diverse European school systems. Anchor points in the BLOOM projects are five BLOOM hubs in different regions in Europe that form communities of practice. They are led by consortium partners who invite and involve network partners, such as regional triple helix partners and other bioeconomy stakeholders. Together, they build working teams that develop in co-creation workshops outreach activities and materials strengthen increased public engagement in bioeconomy.

Abstract: MACOSPOL is a joint enterprise of researchers in science, technology and society across Europe to bring together their various expertises in order to devise a collaborative tool (called a platform) to map out scientific and technical controversies. The idea is that European citizens wishing to involve themselves into technical and scientific issues, need an equipment that is similar to those devised for generating opinions in normal political matters. This equipment does not exist yet for technical democracy even though enormous amount of research has already been done. The digital world facilitates exchange of methods and expertise and it is this facilitation that we want to maximize by bringing together the MACOSPOL consortium. This consortium allows the connection of the best research in Science, Technology and Society with the best research on web-based tools. Once the platform devised and tried out, it will be tested whether or not, in real sized controversies, it is possible for European citizens to come to better judgment about those issues.

Abstract: Community-Based Research Canada (CBRC) emerged in 2008 and evolved from the Pan-Canadian Coalition on Community Based Research as a coalition of group of Canadian universities, research networks, and community organizations at CUExpo 2008 in Victoria, British Columbia. The coalition had a vision of putting research and knowledge to work to make communities more sustainable, fair, safe, healthy, and prosperous. CBRC have a history of fostering collaboration and engagement between higher education institutions and the broader society in Canada. In 2016, CBRC became a national non-profit organization whose mission is to be a national champion and facilitator for community-based research (CBR) and campus-community engagement in Canada. In the vision of CBRC, community-based research can create socio-cultural, economic and environmental benefit for Canadians and Indigenous Peoples in Canada. CBRC intent is to build an inclusive and open network engaging already existing networks, to build support for community-campus partnerships, community-based research and community engagement. The main goals of CBRC are: advance research, policy and advocacy engagement; catalyse a national movement and capacity building; support communication and networks. CBRC brings together key players of community-campus partnership and its network builds capacity for academia and broader communities to collaborate and use research as a tool to mobilize community participation and action. CBRC connects to Canadian networks such as the Canadian Alliance for Community Service-Learning, Research Impact, and Community Campus Partnership for Health as well as global networks such as the Living Knowledge Network in Europe, the National Coordinating Centre for Public Engagement in the United Kingdom, the Global Alliance for Community Engaged Research and the Global University Network for Innovation. Specifically, CBRC members include academic institutions, community organizations and businesses, networks, researchers, practitioners, and students. CBRC is committed to reconciliation between Canada and Indigenous peoples and believes that participatory research is one of many mechanisms through which reconciliation can be achieved. CBRC supports research that is conducted by and with Indigenous communities on their priority issues, using community developed and/or approved research approaches, amplifying the voice and choice of Indigenous people throughout the research process and resulting in meaningful outcomes ultimately leading to social change.

Abstract: The League of European Research Universities (LERU) is a well-established network of 23 leading research-intensive universities based in 12 countries around Europe that share the values of high-quality teaching within an environment of internationally competitive research. Founded in 2002, LERU advocates education through an awareness of the frontiers of human understanding; the creation of new knowledge through basic research, which is the ultimate source of innovation in society; and the promotion of research across a broad front in partnership with industry and society at large. The League is a valued interlocutor for the European institutions and other policy stakeholders. It acts as a strong, outspoken voice of European research-intensive universities on a wide range of topics related to EU policies and initiatives. LERU aims to advance the understanding and knowledge of decision makers, policy makers and opinion leaders about the role and activities of research-intensive universities. It achieves this through direct communication and discussion within the policy community, solid proposals for improvement and progress, and carefully considered position papers on fundamental issues relevant to research-intensive universities. Its broad spectrum of activities and its contributions to policy debates have established LERU’s reputation as a major stakeholder in the EU, which has a distinctive and well-respected voice in the discussions about the future of Europe’s research policy. Actually, LERU maintains a dialogue and cooperates with the EU institutions and EU-related organisations active in the higher education and research arena on topics such as European Research Area, Open Science, Horizon 2020, FP9 and Erasmus+. LERU does this through direct communication and discussions within the policy community, sound proposals for improvement and progress, and carefully, considered publications on fundamental issues affecting Europe’s research universities. Furthermore, its 23 members bring together representatives to work on LERU policy development and mutual learning in a number of areas. There is a constant exchange of knowledge, expertise and funding, innovation, open scholarship, impact, academic careers, higher education including (post-) doctoral training, gender issues and more.

Abstract: A decade ago, the European Commission (EC) warned: 'Our society is faced with challenge of finding its proper place in a world shaken by economic and political turbulence ... science, technology and innovation are indispensable to meet this challenge. However, there are indications that (their) immense potential is out of step with ordinary citizens'. (Science and society action plan, 2001). In response, the Commission proposed 38 actions, involving researchers, media professionals and the Commission itself that were vital if the public had confidence and supported their scientists in providing solutions to the problems facing the European Union (EU). Many of these actions centred on better, more honest and more engaging communication amongst researchers, journalists, broadcasters, policy makers and European citizens. But a key question was how to empower Europe's researchers to communicate better with the audiences identified by the Commission as crucial to ensuring science-in-society relations fit for the new millennium. After all, whilst researchers are well educated in their scientific disciplines, there is little in their training that prepares them to be involved in dialogue around the more controversial aspects of their work and its consequences, or even to talk to busy media professionals and policy makers with deadlines to meet and decisions to be reached. ESCONET, the European network of science communication trainers, set out to address this problem. ESCONET has a team of 24 trainers from 12 countries across Europe, including many media professionals and leading science communication academics. ESCONET was and is ideally set up to deal with the complex needs of researchers across a wide variety of natural, applied and social science disciplines from countries covering the entire EU. Under the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6), we developed a set of modules that could be put together flexibly to create science communication training workshops to fit the time available and the particular needs of the researchers to be trained. Under FP7, we have delivered two series of three-day workshops in both 'basic' science communication practices and advanced, deliberative communication and engagement around key and controversial issues. The results of the FP7 have been 'mass' science communication training on a scale never achieved before: - a total of 20 workshops delivered under contract to the EC - 10 in 2009 and 10 in 2010; - a total of 367 training places delivered - 168 in 2009, 199 in 2010; - 231 researchers from 34 countries, trained, including 25 EU countries, 2 candidate countries, 5 other European countries and 2 non-European countries. The immediate feedback from these workshops has been overwhelmingly positive. More in depth evaluation shows that training on the workshops results in increased confidence and science communication activity levels.

Abstract: The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching is an independent policy and research centre whose aim is to build a field around the use of improvement science and networked improvement communities to solve longstanding inequities in educational outcomes. It was founded by Andrew Carnegie in 1905 and chartered in 1906 by an act of Congress. Improving teaching and learning has always been Carnegie’s motivation and heritage. The Carnegie Foundation advocates for the use of improvement science to accelerate how a field learns to improve. Improvement science is explicitly designed to accelerate learning-by-doing and address problems of practice, it is a more user-centred and problem-centred approached to improving teaching and learning. The overall goal is to develop the necessary know-how for a reform idea ultimately to spread faster and more effectively. Since improvement research is an iterative process often extending over considerable periods of time, it is also referred to as continuous improvement. Carnegie believes that the most effective and efficient way to organize improvement efforts is through networked improvement communities (NICs), a colleagueship of expertise building on the hard work and creativity of many. These are intentionally designed social organizations, each with a distinct problem-solving focus. As formal organizations, NICs have roles, responsibilities, and norms for membership and their features frame them as a scientific learning community. They maintain narratives that exemplify what they are about and why it is important to affiliate with them. Since 2008, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has been at the forefront of an emerging movement in education. In this regard, its mission is to promote the methods of improvement science in education and to foster the formation and growth of networked communities dedicated to making headway on longstanding inequities in educational outcomes associated with race, ethnicity, and poverty. Carnegie Foundation’s work today builds on these efforts of advancing improvement science with thousands of school district leaders, principals, teachers, policymakers, and researchers across the country and around the world.

Abstract: NCSCE is a national organization that supports a community of teachers and learners. Through grant funding, it helps educators in and outside the classroom make connections between the content they teach and real world issues of civic importance. By putting content into context, what is inaccessible becomes accessible, what is uninteresting becomes interesting, and what is not meaningful becomes meaningful. It empowers learners by showing them that their knowledge matters, and what they learn today can help solve some of the biggest problems of tomorrow. Since 2001 more than 6,000 educators, administrators, students, and community leaders from over 5,000 two-and four-years colleges, universities, agencies, informal education venues, and community-based organisations have taken part in SENCER and NCSCE activities and contributed their knowledge and work to the project. NCSCE was founded in 2004, and since 2015 has been hosted by the Department of Technology and society at Stony Brook University. SENCER is the signature program of NCSCE. The origin of the SENCER approach was a course developed by Monica Devanas at Rutgers University that taught basic biology through a focus on HIV disease. Using a pressing and timely problem of immediate interest to students, such as the HIV epidemic, helped students understand complex biological concepts and increased their learning. It currently supports four initiatives, in addition to SENCER, that advance education and civic engagement: SENCER-ISE; Engaging Mathematics; SCEWestNet; GLISTEN. The mission of the National Center for Science and Civic Engagement (NCSCE) is to inspire, support, and disseminate campus-based science education reform strategies that strengthen learning and build civic accountability among students in colleges and universities. The Center will serve as a national resource for the improvement of undergraduate science education and will provide a platform enabling faculty and administrators to broaden the impact of their innovations and reforms beyond their campuses. NCSCE areas of focus are personal and public health; democracy; environment; globalisation; educational practice; assessment; humanities.

Abstract: The European Children’s Universities Network (EUCUNET) was founded in 2008 with the aim of stimulate bilateral cooperation and to create basic standards for the organization and implementation of Children’s Universities. Children’s Universities are about exploring our world in an engaging and supportive way. Since the beginning of the new millennium, Children’s Universities have conquered many universities, in Europe and around the world, which have opened up to children and developed programmes in different forms that allow children to learn about science and the people behind science. Children’s Universities facilitate a necessary dialogue between children and scientists about the world, always including respect and acknowledgment of different viewpoints and transmitting the importance of critical questioning. The ongoing discussions about the diversity of Children’s Universities, the ever more important topic of social inclusion in science communication and many examples of good practice were the reason why eucu.net was not discontinued after the EU-funding but re-founded as a membership organization in the year 2011. The strategic objective of eucu.net is to support already consolidated Children’s Universities with fresh ideas and information and to foster the idea of equal access and better educational opportunities for children and young people. Having said that, EUCUNET is intended to increase interaction among member states and to extent existing practices in a professional and concerted manner not only in Europe but also on an international level.
